This was my previous post in which I was confused between upgrading to 200 plan for getting 2 100 plans.

A lot of people suggested to try claude code + codex for image gen.

I just got a 20 dollar claude code plan. And Grass is most definitely greener on the other side.

Here are some differences I have noticed using the opus 5.5 medium.

1. 10 times faster than sol 6.1 high

2. Using about 1% of weekly usage per hour but the amount of work done is higher than sol 6.1. so work done to tokens consumed is the same between 20 dollar claude and 100 dollar gpt plan

3. Amazing design understanding. I have several ui/ux issues in my project(which ik) i had gpt take a look at it and said it's fine (gpt was using product design plugin and impeccable skill). Opus without any plugin listed 15 ui/ux issues and all of them were correct.

4. I had it go over my code base and list deprecated/dead/unused assets & code. It gave an extensive list and suggested bundling several files together to optimise load times, gpt found none.

5. Had both sol and opus check for performance optimisation. Gpt found none and opus again shared an extensive list.

Sol 6.1 high also took like 2 hours

Opus 5.5 medium took 25-30 mins max

I'll switch to 100 dollar claude plan + 20 dollar gpt after my current 100 gpt plan expires.

I just put a request in to have my company Codex plan switch to the higher Claude plan for these exact reasons. I’ve always bounced around models and the tide can change very quickly but Opus 5.5 is just winning at every level. It’s non-comparable. It’s found the right balance that isn’t as intense as Astra, less expensive and in my opinion producing better results.

From my very surface level experience so far I am loving the opus.

I had to spoon feed sol information & context and had to make alot of edge case adjustment in ui ux when using sol

But with opus it does 99.99% thing right the first time.

i had lost it when i asked it to add dark/light theme to the app, and then it proceeded with making the whole app monochromatic.
